Saturday Miscellany – 3/25/17

Yeah, it got quiet around here this week — I’ve got 2 books that I’m excited to talk about, a couple of more that I really want to talk about . .. and a couple of “contractual obligation” books (even if the contract’s just with me). Basically too many books to blog about to be quiet — but man, I’m tired. Inexplicably so. Anyway, keep checking, I’ll get underway again soon. I do have a handful of partially written posts, just have to figure out how to end them.

Enough about me, here are the odds ‘n ends over the week about books and reading that caught my eye. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:

This week’s Two Crime Writers and a Microphone is loads of fun — starting with the interview with Russel D McLean. I can’t imagine anyone can listen to his pitch for his new novel, Ed’s Dead and not rush to buy it. I couldn’t.

This Week’s New Releases I’m Excited About and/or You’ll Probably See Here Soon:

Chalk by Paul Cornell — there’s magic, bullying and a look at Thatcher’s England from the pen of one of the better authors around.
